Ductless Heating & Air Systems
Reliable Ductless Heating & Cooling Systems
Managing your home's heating and cooling needs while balancing high energy bills can be frustrating. Ductless heating and cooling systems — also called mini-split heat pumps — offer more efficient temperature control while bringing down your monthly energy costs.
If you're looking to install a mini-split system, or yours needs repairs, the technicians at Heating + Air Paramedics can help.
How Ductless Systems Work
Mini-split systems are an alternative to traditional radiator or baseboard heating, and a replacement for window units for cooling. They do not require ductwork, making them easier to install in homes that don't currently have an HVAC system.
A head unit, or multiple head units, are mounted on interior walls or ceilings and connected to an accompanying unit outdoors. This unit extracts heat from the air, even when it's cold.
Refrigerant then carries the heat to the head units indoors, which delivers the heated air to the space. In warmer months, the system works in reverse by drawing heat from indoors and moving it outside.
These systems are specifically designed for homes or parts of homes that don't have ductwork. They allow for efficient heating and cooling without the extra expense and logistics of installing new ductwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ductless heating and cooling system?
A ductless heating and cooling system, also known as a mini-split system, is a highly efficient HVAC solution that doesn't require ductwork. It consists of an outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor units, providing both heating and cooling to individual rooms or zones.
How do I know if my ductless system needs repair or replacement?
Some common signs that your system may need repair or replacement include:
Inconsistent heating or cooling in certain rooms
Strange noises or odors coming from the system
Poor airflow or refrigerant leaks
Higher-than-usual energy bills
The system is over 10-15 years old and no longer operates efficiently
What are the benefits of ductless heating and cooling systems?
Energy efficiency: Ductless systems use less energy compared to traditional HVAC systems.
Zoning: You can control temperatures in individual rooms or zones, saving energy and improving comfort.
Flexibility: Ideal for homes or buildings without ductwork, and easy to install in almost any room.
Quiet operation: Ductless systems are typically quieter than traditional heating and cooling systems.
Can I repair my ductless system, or should I replace it?
Depending on the age and condition of your system, a repair may be sufficient. However, if your system is over 10 years old, has frequent breakdowns or is no longer efficient, replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run.
How long does a ductless heating and cooling system typically last?
A well-maintained ductless system can last 12 to 15 years. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can extend the lifespan of your unit.
What are the advantages of replacing my old system with a new ductless unit?
Replacing an old system with a new ductless unit can improve energy efficiency, reduce utility bills, enhance comfort with more precise temperature control and give you access to modern features like smart thermostats and air purifiers.
How long does it take to repair or replace a ductless system?
The time required for repair or replacement depends on the extent of the issue or the complexity of the installation. Repairs can typically be completed in a few hours, while a full replacement may take a day or two, depending on the system size and installation conditions.
Is ductless system installation disruptive?
Ductless systems are relatively easy to install and often cause less disruption compared to traditional HVAC systems. Small holes are made to route the refrigerant lines and electrical connections between the indoor and outdoor units, which is usually minimal and non-invasive.
How much does it cost to repair or replace a ductless heating and cooling system?
The cost can vary based on the type of service needed, the system's size and your location. Repair costs typically range from $100 to $500, while full replacements can range from $3,000 to $7,000 or more, depending on the complexity and brand of the system.
What maintenance is required for my ductless system?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the air filters, inspecting refrigerant levels, checking for leaks and ensuring the outdoor unit is clear of debris. Scheduling annual professional inspections can help prevent major issues and extend the life of your system.
How can I improve the efficiency of my ductless system?
To maximize efficiency, ensure regular maintenance, clean filters and set your temperature controls to optimal levels. Also, using a programmable thermostat can help regulate the system's performance, and sealing any leaks around the unit can prevent energy loss.
Do you offer emergency repair services?
Yes, we offer emergency repair services to ensure that your ductless heating and cooling system is running smoothly whenever you need it. If you're experiencing urgent issues, don't hesitate to contact us for immediate assistance.
